A must-see, in my opinion.

Did you go there Greg? What was the room temp?

We visited, but did not stay overnight. From the FAQ:

"What temperature is it inside the Hôtel de Glace?

In addition to being a great windshield, the thick snow walls keep the
Hôtel de Glace well insulated. The ambient temperature varies only by a
few degrees between -3°C and -5°C, no matter what the outside
temperature is."

"How do people sleep in the Hôtel de Glace?

All our beds have a solid ice base, with a wooden bedspring and a
mattress on top. Mattresses are covered with blankets, and people sleep
inside arctic sleeping bags designed to stay warm in temperatures as low
as -30°C. We recommend that you slip inside your sleeping bag wearing
just thermal underwear to keep humidity to a minimum."
